Rose Clam Scarab – Framed Steel Object Inspired by Extraterrestrial Fossils and Colonial-Era Exploration
Rose Clam Scarab is a delicate galactic fossil preserved in a custom hinged frame, a fictional specimen from the icy depths of Europa, one of Jupiter’s enigmatic moons. This object imagines a lifeform evolved in conditions eerily similar to Earth's, challenging the assumption that intelligent structures must be wildly alien.
Its form suggests something familiar, part insect, part mollusk, a biological convergence between deep-sea life and desert beetles. Crafted in coated steel and natural shell, the piece channels the aesthetic of The Fifth Element, blending bio-architecture with retro-futuristic mythology.
As with all Galactic Fossils, this work imagines life not as it is, but as it might have been, had the cosmic timeline aligned just so. Housed in a deep frame, the piece evokes a field discovery, ready for the archives of a lost expedition or the shelves of a nu-goth study.
Perfect for those drawn to Hemingway interiors, colonial artifacts, or the sublime in imagined science.
Material: Coated steel and natural shell
Dimensions: 22 × 17 × 5.7 cm
Weight: 500 g
Function: Wall-mounted or tabletop framed décor object, ideal for atmospheric interiors, sci-art collectors, and fans of retro-futuristic naturalism
Frame: Hinged shadow box format included
